Best Ratchet & Clank Games

The Top Ten

In my opinion, what really makes this game stand out is the humor. Seriously, I think this game had the best adult humor ever which clearly shows that you are never too old to play R&C.

The newer games still have funny cutscenes, but they're not the same as the humor in the previous games. I really hope Insomniac continues to make great R&C games with the same humor quality as UYA!

Maybe it's just because this is the first one I've played, but none of the other Ratchet and Clanks I played compared to this one. It was very humorous and had the best set of weapons yet. It is a must play for the Ratchet and Clank series!

This game is flawless. The weapons in this game were the best in the series. The storyline was superb. There were many memorable moments, especially the level when you film an episode of "Secret Agent Clank". All in all, it is the definitive Ratchet ^^ Clank game. If you can only have one, make sure its this one.

This was my ' childhood! Oh man, I had all guns, millions of bolts, completed the game countless times! I just love ratchet and clank 3 UYA so much!

This is the best in my opinion, The trailers and teasers gave me goose bumps.

I loved the storyline the most out of them all, it has brilliant graphics and it can get so emotional, I wish I could cry over the scenes because I thought they were that good.

Gameplay is unique, you don't just play through the story and start over again... No, once your ship has been fixed by the Zoni you are free to explore the sector which will contain a whole bunch of things to do such as the several moons scattered across each sector and each moon has its own challenge weather your looking for more Zoni or a gold bolt and so on and how you obtain them has some variety as well. Or you can operate space missions to earn more bolts or just destroy some asteroids. There are plenty of weapons and you can even customize the starter weapons (combuster, fusion grenade, shotgun) and make them different colours and behave differently. The game also features some cool ways of getting from a to b ...more

I think this is the best game yet, the game play is awesome, the cut-scenes are extremely cool, this game just leaves me speechless.

When I saw the teaser trailer I couldn't believe my eye's. I just had to get this game.

This is the best Ratchet and Clank ever. It has the best weapons, great amour, an engaging story and managed to give Clank a proper part in the game. This game even managed to fix the problems in Tools of Destruction like the ridiculously high nanotech. The only game that could possibly be better is Up Your Arsenel. This game is 10 out of 10

Sick game There were heaps of weapons which were awesome including the best weapon in the series (RYNO II)This game never will get boring unlike UYA Each new planet will completely amaze you and entertain you to the max, its just magicThe story was excellent and the longest in the series

I know this is one of my favourites

Most weapons in the series. Most levels in the series. Most mini games in the series. Most bosses in the series.

This game introduced many elements to the series that have become staples such as armor, automatic weapon and health upgrades, arena battles, strafing and a challenge mode with much more extra content than the first Ratchet and Clank game. To this day Going Commando remains to be the game that had the biggest influence on the series.

Man, I love this series! But Going Commando for me was the best one! Immersive world with excellent detail, introducing upgrades to weapons, great humor and the list goes on and on... And while almost every Ratchet and Clank game contains all these pros, the thing that makes this one stick out to me, is well... The sheer amount of content! Seriously the world's are big but not so big you can easily get lost, the weapons don't take a millennium to level up, there are more planets and weapons in this one than in any other, in my opinion this one is just the most replayable out of the rest. I own every Ratchet and Clank title, with the exception of Quest for Booty and Secret Agent Clank. Simply put, this one just gives you the most bang for your buck.

This Game was the best during my childhood and will always be the best ratchet clank game I've ever played

Its very awesome, great opponents, great weapons and awesome levels =D

From the big Leviathan, to the Robot pirate

My childhood game was Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. It had a really good story, and was really fun to play. The graphics were just awesome! I could play this game over and over again. definitely my favourite game in the series, and is a game worth to buy!

A gameplay like Up Your Arsenal plus a high graphics that will totally amaze your depth of imagination. Simply the best!

This game is absolutely stunning. Despite the fact that Crack in time and Up Your Arsenal are both amazing games, this deserves a spot on the top 3. Great buildup towards Crack in Time, and all in all made a great beginnint to Ratchet and Clank Future.

Hard choice between 1 and 2. Going Commando had all the great features that come with the sequel to a game (upgradable weapons, more nanotech, Insomniac museum, battle arena, etc. ), but the first game really was classic. The story was the most epic, but what really one me on this one was the levels. Each world was unique and completely different than the one before it. Sheer epicness. Oh, and let's not forget classic Ratchet before he got a personality shift.

I didn't like 3 as much as, well, everyone else seems to. There is no question that it was a great game, but it felt a little cheap to me, mainly in appearance (the menus were sort of ugly and boring, the nanotech got turned into a flat bar, the weapons weren't to great, the worlds didn't compare to the ones in the previous two games). - djh101

I like this game the most out of all the Ratchet and Clank games! Well, I haven't played Quest for Booty, Crack In Time, Secret Agent Clank, All 4 One, Full Frontal Assault, and Into the Nexus yet. My No. 2 is Tools of Destruction. Why? I'm old school, meaning I grew up when games were just taking off so the graphics were bad. Back then it didn't matter to us, we wanted a good story. When I played Tools of Destruction the story/gameplay flowed so well I had to stop myself from playing it.

Harmony. This game spells this word in your face in every section with the aid of the music, the graphics, the atmosphere, and the overall story/acting. Once you finish it, you'll feel that good taste in your mouth like: well done, insomniac whoever you are.

I think that the original is the only bad ratchet and clank game for 2 reasons. 1, no strafing makes any combat situation extremely annoying and needlessly complicated. And the bigger point, no upgrades for the weapons means that they become outclassed by the late game ones. - kempokid

Ratchet & Clank on steroids! High octane mayhem throughout. This game is unique in the series, and I think it should be ranked as one of the very best. The weapons are great and the upgrade options are fantastic. Wielding the Scorpion Flail with reckless abandon against hordes of enemies has to be one of the most satisfying things ever. Deadlocked has a different formula from the rest, but that also makes it fresh and very exciting to play. This should be in the top three.

I don't know why everyone bashes this awesome game. Deadlocked is just as fun as the previous three games. The story is great, awesome weapons, and a kick ass multiplayer. This should definitely rank among the best!

Outstanding game outstanding I say, hard when I played it as a kid but I agree it's a bit short but very re-playable lost count of how many times I played it it's awesome by the way all 4 one is a bit of an disappointment

Better than FToD, because: weapons. I was really underwhelmed by the weapons in Future Tools of Destruction, which is ironic considering it's title. They just failed to satisfyingly destroy things fast enough, and combat was ultimately a slog. Deadlocked, on the other hand, is pure combat joy, unadulterated mayhem-destruction-domination. I think this game gets unfairly overlooked because it does not fall into the tried and true gameplay formula. But that is actually its strength.

It was an completely incredible game from what I have heard and seen of it although I do not currently own it I have heard it is an awesome gravity shifting amazing graphics overall incredible game other than the lack of length

Although Gimmicky, I found this game to be more fun and more interesting than future tools, and still more fun than a crack in time.

Although it is short it is awesome. I love the armor and how you can change it. The upgrades and weapons feel great too.

It's everything I loved about the first game, and more! I had an absolutely great time while playing this, and it managed to make itself more than just a great remake, more than just a great movie tie-in, but a great, fun game.

It is goof to have this game back. A nice remake of the first ratchet & clank but still got the nice extra upgrades from the newer once, such as tools of destruction and a crack in time.

Awesome game. It was what the series needed the only reason why it is low on this list is because it has only been out a week.

Loved it but the 2 problems that I had with this game is, 1. Clank is not a playable character, and 2. It's really short, I finished it in 2 and a half hours, but the gameplay, story and graphics are amazing

So Flipping good! I got this when the 'Welcome Back' deal was on, and I never had a problem with the replayability or the length (i was only little, I dug bite-size games). Plus, it was my first in the series, so it will always have a place in my heart

The Contenders

11Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One

Although this game isn't part of the main series, its still a blast and really fun to play with your friends and family! Me, my little sisters, my cousins and my friends always have a great time playing this game togther! I love it :D

The best co-op game of all time. Whenever you are playing online or with a friend, it always ends up being really funny! The coop is designed of a very enjoyable way, and you will most likely enjoy this game and laugh. Playing with others is really fun~

Multiplayer is fun in this game. However I do miss classic gameplay, but it is cool.

Horrible 2d peice of crap game nothing like the others and should definitely not even be considered to be tenth place do not consider buying this as your first in the series definitely buy something more like future: tools of destruction (PS3) or up your arsenal (ps2)
